Task flows in Microsoft Fabric (Generally Available)
Task flows feature is now generally available! Task flows streamline the design of your data solutions and ensure consistency between design and development efforts. It also allows you to navigate items and manage your workspace more easily, even as it becomes more complex over time.
Since its preview last May, we have received a great deal of constructive feedback from you. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your invaluable partnership.
With GA, you’ll be able to:
Import and export task flow
You can export task flows from a workspace and import task flows into another workspaces for reusing the task flow easily and efficiently.
Create the recommended task flow for Power BI workspaces
If the workspace contains Power BI items only, the task flow canvas will display a basic task flow designed to meet the basic needs of a solution based on Power BI items only.
Select Create to create a task flow in workspace and assign all items to the appropriate task.
Select the Event medallion predesigned task flow
This task flow is designed to handle high volumes of both batch and real-time data ingestion, processing, and transformation. It organizes data through three layers (Bronze, Silver, and Gold) to progressively improve the data’s quality and structure, ensuring data integrity and enabling real-time insights and decision-making.
Author task flow efficiently
- You can collapse the task flow inspector panel, enabling you to maximize the canvas area.
- Select items from the item list in bulk and click Assign to task in toolbar to assign them to a task.
- Ensure the unique task names within the workspace
- Avoid unnoticed overriding and losing changes, when conflict happens, you can be notified and quickly to get the up-to-date task flow changes.
What’s next?
Cross-workspace task flow: The current task flow design is limited to a single workspace, and we know this has been a key adoption blocker for many use cases, and we’re making it a priority to address.
We are dedicated to continuously enhancing the task flow experience. Please stay tuned for forthcoming updates. There will be many more exciting features as we continue to innovate. We’re always listening to your feedback. Help us prioritize what’s next by adding your ideas here: https://aka.ms/fabricideas
